What is in this file

A FeatureCollection of 55,539 features: 49,986 points and 5,554 line strings with longitude-latitude coordinates (WGS 84) and properties. A "padding" member, which GeoJSON readers ignore, brings the file to the exact size.

Features	55,539
Geometry types	Point, LineString
Coordinate reference	WGS 84 (RFC 7946)
Encoding	UTF-8 (ASCII characters only)

Where 10 MB matters

A 10,485,760-byte file: over the default limits of PHP, API Gateway and Spring Boot requests. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:

System	Limit	Note
Amazon API Gateway	10 MB payload	A 10 MB file in a multipart or base64 body is over the limit.
Spring Boot multipart	10 MB per request by default (max-request-size)	Exceeded once form overhead is added.
PHP	8 MB POST body by default (post_max_size)	Rejected before the script runs.
Amazon S3 multipart upload	5 MiB minimum part size	This file splits into exactly two minimum-sized parts.
Email attachments	Commonly 20 to 25 MB per message	10 MB fits, at about 13.3 MB once encoded.

Testing notes for GeoJSON

Swapped latitude and longitude put points in the wrong hemisphere or the ocean. Test with locations you can recognise.
Polygon rings must be closed, with the first and last positions identical.

Questions about this file

Is this file exactly 10 MB?: Yes. It is 10,485,760 bytes, which is 10 MB in the binary units that operating systems and server limits use (1 KB = 1,024 bytes).
What is inside the 10 MB GeoJSON file?: A FeatureCollection of 55,539 features: 49,986 points and 5,554 line strings with longitude-latitude coordinates (WGS 84) and properties. A "padding" member, which GeoJSON readers ignore, brings the file to the exact size.
Where are the sample features located?: Near sixteen real cities on six continents, with small random offsets, so the result is easy to check on a map.
